Mayawati kept everything at stake
It is very clear that in the Loksabha elections 2019, Mayawati had to keep everything at stake to maintain the status of BSP as the political party. For this, she had not only joined hands with its major rival, Samajwadi Party but she had even campaigned for Mulayam Singh Yadav, SP’s patriarch, in Mainpuri. She even asked the public to forget the bitterness of the past and bring him back to the power in UP.
Keeping in mind the importance of loksabha elections 2019, BSP Supreme Mayawati has done what no one in the caste ridden state can think of. She has agreed for the alliance with SP and RLD and went for campaigns for both the parties as well.
Posing the challenge for BJP
No doubt that BSP-SP-RLD alliance was the biggest challenge for BJP in the general elections 2019. The alliance had conducted rallies all over in UP with the intension to drew attention from a large crowd. This had given the strength to Mayawati, Prime ministerial aspirant, to compete and gain benefits from the alliance. She has given the clear indications in a rally in Ambedkarnagar that if everything goes off well then she may seek elections from there. This is because Ambedkarnagar gives the pass to the national politics.
